Dundory¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Adam J McNamara| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 61

4/1

One win from 22 Flat runs. 25/1, bounced back to form after 9 weeks off when second of 11 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago, collared close home. Should be in the mix once again.

Form: 90846-2

Dubai Emperor¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 61| CD

11/8

Opened account at Chelmsford in January and had a bit in hand when doubling his tally in 12-runner handicap (7/2) at this C&D 19 days ago by neck from Haven Lady, having to pick way through. Player.

Form: 465-101

(8)

Central City^p¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Mr Bradley Furniss⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 60| C

20/1

Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 33/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago, forced wide throughout. Down to a career-low mark today so could be worth a second look.

Form: 087-539

(5)

Headshot³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: A Mullen| T: A W Carroll| OR: 59| CD

15/2

Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2020. 33/1, fared little better than on stable debut when eighth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 33 days ago, not clear run. Plenty to find on form.

Form: 22240-8

(7)

Masqool¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: D C Costello| T: H J Evans| OR: 56| BF

6/1

Winner at Southwell in January. Not seen to very best effect when 2½ lengths sixth of 12 to Dubai Emperor in handicap at this C&D (11/4) 19 days ago, shuffled back over 2f out. Can feature.

Form: 52-1456

(6)

He's Our Star^b¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: A W Carroll| OR: 54

11/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Again ran poorly when eighth of 10 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D 12 days ago. Blinkers back on. Others more persuasive.

Form: 22-7278

(1)

Haven Lady^b¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Sullivan| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 53

10/1

14/1, best effort for some time when neck second of 12 to Dubai Emperor in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago, running on. Each-way claims once again.

Form: 7799-42

(4)

Channel Packet^p⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 8-13| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 52

22/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 10/3, well-beaten last of 6 to Dubai Emperor in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 44 days ago. Down 3 lb but others make more appeal.

Form: 04384-6

(3)

New Look^v¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 45

50/1

Remains a maiden after 47 Flat runs. 4½ lengths ninth of 12 to Dubai Emperor in handicap (66/1) at this C&D 19 days ago, merely closing up late. Visor back on. Has work to do.

Form: 668-469

Forecasts

Dubai Emperor (11/8), Dundory (4/1), Masqool (6/1), Headshot (15/2), Haven Lady (10/1), He's Our Star (11/1), Central City (20/1), Channel Packet (22/1), New Look (50/1)

DUBAI EMPEROR had a bit up his sleeve when scoring by just a neck from Haven Lady over C&D earlier this month and, nudged up just a couple of pounds for that success, he looks the way to go. Dundory turned in his best effort for his current handler when runner-up last time so he can give the selection most to think about, ahead of Masqool and the aforementioned Haven Lady.
